STAR WARS: Dragon Squadron

Cold Data

Hidden in a distant corner of the galaxy is the planet LOWTIDE, a former trade colony fallen on hard times, kept alive only through the support of the GALACTICEMPIRE who secretly use the system to house a covert intelligence gathering and research facility.

Recently learning of the existence of the base, DRAGONSQUADRON is sent to investigate with the hope of stealing information vital to the REBELALLIANCE in the replenishment of resources needed to continue their war efforts.

Whilst infiltrating the tall spires of the capital, DRAGONSQUADRON captured the former Zygerrian slaver and well known Imperial sympathiser MAYORARISTRANQUIK who they have convinced to assist them in collecting the data they need....

Beyond the Low Tide

In the bitter struggle against the GALACTICEMPIRE, not all battles are fought with blasters. Intelligence networks operating in secret for the REBELALLIANCE aim to learn more about Imperial tactics and resources to aid them in the galactic civil war.

Valuable information recently acquired by the members of DRAGONSQUADRON exposed an isolated research and communications facility on the remote planet of LOWTIDE that may provide key details of Imperial fleet movements throughout the Mid-Rim.

The system may not only provide vital details to the war effort, but for VIXTOLENOSHI, it may end the search for her precious ship, the CELESTIALSHADOW, that was stolen when she became a prisoner of the vicious Zygerrians Slavers....

The Yaga Imperative (Part II)

After securing secret access codes to the Imperial controlled YAGA system, DRAGONSQUADRON infiltrates the Imperial defences only to find one of the TORPEDOSPHERES has vanished leaving one of the behemoths behind.

Despite this setback, SLAINE leads DRAGONSQUADRON into the facility below before locating TERRILGAAN, an alledged Rebel sympathizer who can help in recovering the Hutt artifacts sought by the rebels.

The meeting is disrupted when Inquisitor MEERA leads an ambush against SLAINE and his companions forcing them to flee. Meanwhile RHAMKLAIM and a squadron of Rebel starfighters arrives only to find themselves in the middle of yet another Imperial trap....

The Yaga Imperative (Part I)

Hunting for resources to assist the REBELALLIANCE, the members of DRAGONSQUADRON delve into the heart of Hutt Space where they locate black marketeer DREXFURLOW who agrees to help them in exchange for the recovery of cargo seized by the GALACTICEMPIRE.

Learning the cargo is hidden on the world of YAGAMINOR, Squadron Leader RHAMKLAIM executes a plan to scout the system. There he discovers an Imperial testing facility harboring newly constructed vessels capable of rendering a planet uninhabitable.

Escaping unscathed and now armed with the data collected, DRAGONSQUADRON ready themselves for a daring mission to attack the facility and collect the cargo for their new associate....

Trail of the Celestial Shadow

The destruction of the DEATHSTAR and the TARKIN sent a decisive message to the galaxy, that the REBELALLIANCE was capable of fighting the evil GALACTICEMPIRE. Unfortunately this act caused the Emperor to send his most fearsome agent DARTHVADER to deal with this threat.

Under Lord Vader’s command, the Empire forced the Rebels to flee from their hidden base on HOTH and take to the stars. Without a home, the Rebels now find themselves lacking the resources to continue their fight for freedom.

DRAGONSQUADRON, fresh from their latest victory, takes the lead in the search for further assets to help sustain the Rebellion while one of their newest recruits uses the opportunity to follow a lead of her own....

The Battle of Kowak

The Zygerrian Empire has been dealt a critical blow with the death of its heir PRINCESONOMONEC, executed by INQUISITORKYZZOO, former mentor of Rebel Alliance pilot SLAINE.

The arrival of the GALACTICEMPIRE and the Imperial Star Destroyer CONQUEST has sent the Zygerrian City of Sclavos into chaos as criminals and slavers alike scuttle what cargo they can before the city is besieged by Stormtroopers.

While the leaders of the resistance patiently await communication from Lieutenant RHAMKLAIM, the members of DRAGONSQUADRON have been discovered and now must face their greatest challenge yet – freeing the people of Kowak all whilst engaging an Imperial Inquisitor....

The Final Stand

Dozens of slaves freed from the hands of the notorious TRANDOSHANSLAVERSGUILD flee to the safety of the jungle bordering the Zygerrian City of Sclavos to the care of local resistance leaders eager to assist them in their plight.

Word of the slave revolt spreads throughout the city causing PRINCESONOMONEC to heighten palace security while preparations continue for the royal banquet to celebrate the annual royal slave auction.

Led by Lieutenant RHAMKLAIM, the members of DRAGONSQUADRON return to Sclavos to complete their mission while unbeknownst to them, an old enemy tracks their movements in order to recover an Imperial asset and return it to DARTHVADER himself....

The Slaves of Kowak (Part III)

Trouble brews on the world of Kowak, base of operations for the corrupt Zygerrian Prince SONOMONEC and his equally nefarious allies, the Karazak, Thalassian and Transdoshan Slave Guilds.

When RHAMKLAIM and his squadron of Rebel Alliance pilots arrive to negotiate a treaty between the Alliance and the Slave Guilds, things take a turn for the worse when one of their members is captured, and forced to fight in the Prince’s Gladiatorial Arena.

Vowing not to leave their team mate behind, DRAGONSQUADRON hatch a plan to rescue their friend only to be interrupted by a rogue slave named LEDALAKOREWA who forces the rescue mission forward, resulting in the crew crashing into the nearby jungle....

PANDOWN: Dusk – Kowak Jungle. The City of Sclavos can be seen in the distance, its lights barely visible. Several speeders fly overhead, their spotlights scouring the jungle, looking for the escaped slaves and their rescuers, the members of Dragon Squadron. Two Trandoshan slavers move into view aboard their skiff.

Slaver #1:

We will never find them out here now.

Slaver #2:

Blast. We will resume out search at first light. Even if we don’t find them, at least we might find their rotting carcasses.

Slaver #1:

Ha-ha-ha. Yeah! You’re right. They don’t stand a chance against the Talanarku. Best get back to tell the boss.

Slaver #2:

That’s not a conversation I’m looking forward to.

As the last of the speeders moves into the distance, the camera pans down into the jungle and stops at a large fallen tree, the remains of a speeder close-by. The camera then zooms in closer to what appears to be a small hollow in the jungle floor, and stops as several bushes move to reveal the members of Dragon Squadron...

The Slaves of Kowak (Part II)

Dragon Squadron is ordered to the jungle world of Kowak to negotiate with Zygerrian Slavers for permission to use the world as a safe-haven for Rebel Operatives and political asylum seekers.

Flight leader RHAMKLAIM reluctantly agrees to the mission, voicing his concern in siding with those who would enslave the people the Alliance is attempting to free. His plea appears to fall on deaf ears, and so vows to show no mercy should diplomacy fail.

Upon arrival however, the situation becomes more complicated when new squadron member A’DEN SOLUS is captured by Zygerrian Guards and thrown into the palace dungeons, a situation which may lead to all-out conflict and potentially jeopardise the squadron’s mission....

PANDOWN: The deepness of space. A rough and tumble Aurore-Class Freighter comes out of hyperspace. The camera tracks the ship’s movement as it hurtles past. Its destination comes into view, and fill the screen – the world of Kowak.

CUT TO: Cockpit of the freighter, Dark Narglesh.

Ak-Mal:

Well your eminence, Kowak. World of slaves, slavers, scum and villainy. I like to call it my home away from home.

Inquisitor:

<translated>Take me to Caden, the city on the southern continent. I will start my search there. I can sense my master’s quarry. It is near.

The Slaves of Kowak (Part I)

The Rebel Alliance has won a significant victory against the GALACTICEMPIRE by defeating the renegade Imperial Captain RALCHIOMOTTI at the Hypori Shipyards.

With several Imperial vessels now in the hands of the Rebellion, and the celebrations of their victory concluded, the members of Dragon Squadron turn their attention to unfinished business.

The newly promoted Captain Corestar has decreed that as his last order, the squadron will attack the Zygerrians in the nearby Kowak system, and free the thousands of slaves held there, however General HANNIBALROMMILAR of the Alliance Fleet has other plans for the assault....

PANDOWN: A rough and tumble Aurore-Class Freighter comes into view as the camera pans across to follow its journey. Its destination comes into view, and Imperial Class Super Star Destroyer, specifically the Empire’s flagship, the Executor. Several TIE Fighters launch from the Star Destroyer and appear to escort the vessel to a landing dock within the massive vessel.

CUT TO: Hanger bay of the Super Star Destroyer. Dozens of Imperial Stormtroopers move about the massive hanger, as the freighter lands of the main deck with a dull thud. A quad of troopers approach and flank the doorway. At the end of the bay, a turbolift slides open, and a dark menacing figure strides through the doorway followed by several Imperial Officers. The individual known as Darth Vader had arrived.

The ramp to the transport lowered, as a Weequay Bounty Hunter followed by four of his Klatooinian thugs exited the shuttle. The group came face to face with the Dark Lord.

Darth Vader:

Well Captain. What did you find?

Ak-Mal:

We received information from an informant that one of your targets was heading towards an outpost on the border of the Instrop Sector. The tip paid off, but it cost me quite a number of my men. I expect the Empire to compensate me on my losses. Good men are hard to come by you understand.

Darth Vader:

Were you successful in capturing your quarry?

Ak-Mal:

Unfortunately not. He had help. A couple of humans, a Zeltron and two of those Mandalorians hunters I think.

Darth Vader:

Disappointing Captain. I was lead to believe that this prey was not above your abilities. Perhaps I was wrong?

Ak-Mal:

Of course not. He just caught us off guard is all. We did not expect more than his one associate to be helping him.

Darth Vader:

Clearly Captain, your assumptions are a true sign of your incompetence, and I will explore that further later. In the meantime, I sense that your prey has not gone far as something tethers him to the area. Consequently Captain, I find myself again in need of your services. I am sending you on another mission Ak-Mal, but this time, I will be sending some help.

A elevator platform hissed to a halt from a shaft nearby to their position. Atop the platform was an armored individual, the Imperial symbol emblazoned on the figure’s pauldron. The armour was a cross between a flight suit and the laminate armour of Royal Guard, with several tubes dangling from the face-plate, ready to be fastened to the interior of a fighter’s cockpit. The figure’s robes billowed from the upwards draft from the shaft below.

Darth Vader:

This Captain is my associate. He is highly trained in locating missing persons. He is resourceful, cold, calculating and efficient. You will learn from him Captain, and in turn, he will help you find the Emperor’s missing apprentice. Do NOT fail me again Captain, or you will experience similar losses to those which you suffered at the hands of your prey – but this time it will be at the hands of my Inquisitor.

CUT TO: The interior of Spit Welders Cantina as the festivities celebrating the battle of Hypori wind down.
